Introduction
PM2.5 laser dust sensor is a digital universal particle concentration sensor，it can be used to obtain the number of suspended particulate
matter in a unit volume of air within 0.3 to 10 microns, namely the concentration of particulate matter, and output with digital interface, also
can output quality data of per particle. The sensors can be embedded in a variety of concentrations of environment-related instruments
suspended particulate matter in the air ,to provide timely and accurate concentration data.

How it works?
The sensor uses a laser scattering theory. And namely the scattering of laser irradiation in the air suspended particles, while collecting the
scattered light at a specific angle, to obtain the scattering intensity versus with time curve. After the microprocessor data collection, get the
relationship between the time domain and frequency domain by Fourier transform, and then through a series of complex algorithms to
obtain the number of particles in the equivalent particle size and volume units of different size. Each functional block diagram of the sensor
portion as shown:

Connection

Sensor Arduino
Function Description
Pin Pin
Pin 1 VCC Positive Power
Pin 2 GND Negative Power
Pin 3 SET Mode setting (More hereof later)
Pin 4 RXD receive serial port pin (3.3V level)
Transferring serial port pin (3.3V
Pin 5 TXD
level)
Pin 6 RESET Reset
Pin 7/ 8 NC NUll

NOTE:
SET:
SET = 1, the module works in continuous sampling mode, it will upload the sample data after the end of each
sampling. (The sampling response time is 1S)
SET = 0, the module enters a low-power standby mode.
RESET: leave it empty is OK.

Tutorial

Connection Diagram

If you have IO expansion boards you can download the code and plug PM2.5 sensor adapter to IO expansion board, and you can use the
serial to monitor PM2.5, PM1.0 and PM10 of the data. Because the laser PM2.5 sensor uses serial communication and DFRobot UNO R3 is
only one independent serial ports, so you need to download arduino code and then plug the sensor , otherwise the program will have
downloading problems.

Sample Code

Download library and code here first: Library (https://github.com/Arduinolibrary/DFRobot_PM2.5_Sensor_module/blob/master

/serialReadPMValue.rar?raw=true)

NOTE:

This sketch below is for UNO, Bluno etc, if you use Leonardo which use Serial1 instead of Serial to communicate with the PM2.5
module, please open the sample sketch in the download library: "PM2_5SensorDemo.ino";
Arduino Version suggested to be Arduino 1.0 (recommend 1.0.6), other version would not be compatible to run the library.
